Moreover, taking home a set of six Emmy awards in 2022 is no joke, Squid Game swept the Emmy Awards with 14 nominations and six wins, including Lee Jung-jae’s Best Actor in a Drama honor.
Its success has been so tremendous that a spinoff series, Squid Games: The Challenge, will hit Netflix in November.
Despite its popularity, the reality competition show has already been surrounded by controversies, with reports of “war zone”-like and freezing conditions in the game, apparently sent its real-life participants in hospitals.
